Summary

Flutterwave secured a strategic investment from Circle Ventures (amount undisclosed) and added USDC settlement, giving it a second regulated dollar stablecoin rail alongside RLUSD from Ripple. Ripple took a strategic equity stake in Flutterwave's Series E round at a $3.2B valuation in June 2026, naming RLUSD as the default settlement asset. Circle's investment came weeks later. Flutterwave has processed 1B+ transactions worth $50B+ across 34 African markets. Sub-Saharan Africa received $205B+ in on-chain value (July 2024-June 2025, +52% YoY). Flutterwave positions as issuer-agnostic multi-rail platform, declining to pick a winner between USDC ($75B market cap) and RLUSD ($1.65B). The company also recently acquired open-banking startup Mono, gaining a Nigerian microlending license.
